Just finished doing the same thing to two wateroak logs, about 38" on the small end. On one of them I split it into quarters and have started qs'ing it. Still hard to handle because it won't "roll" and has to be lifted with the cant hook to reposition. Lot's of trouble but you get lot's of very nice qs boards.
I'm slabbing the other log because it has a lot of crotch figure on one end and was about 50" dia on the big end, that and I still have this unexplainable desire to use a csm :help:. Can't explain the sic desire to hear that stihl moan
I'll end up resawing the slabs on the mill now that I can handle them (still 9" thick x 28" wide 8 ft long, quite a chunk of wood)
BTW, if you haven't had a chance to use any of the logrite cant hooks they are amazing. No comparison to the hickory handled types. I bought a 60" but would get the 72" if I had it to do over. That big wood is a real challenge to handle by hand to say the least.
Keep us posted.
